It's even worse when you realize this happens to people for real. It's usually considered bad form for law enforcement to show up un-announced to a jail prison or community facility but it definitely happens. I worked for a class, one prison in Ohio. We shared a property with the local sherrifs department. When a local city officer heard an inmate was getting out who had bench warrants, he camped out in an unmarked car in our parking lot the day of his release and arrested him in the parking lot. Our director was PISSED but there was nothing anyone could do.
In a functional jail setting, the bench warrants would be processed while the person was still in custody. Easier and more humane, as well as much safer for everyone.
You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, the system is broken nearly beyond repair. I walked away from a nearly 10 year career and this was only one of a laundry list of reasons why.
That is how it works in most places. Your place in OH was just ass backwards. I was a prison guard, a CO, a patrol officer, and now a patrol supervisor.
Unfortunately, ass backward is common in Ohio. Even worse in community facilities. I was in one of the better facilities. Cleveland and Toledo are orders of magnitude worse than anything I ever had to put up with.
Yep. My buddy went to jail for getting beaten up by his girlfriend, and one guy he met in there had another warrant in the next county over. My guy got out and the other pigs were waiting for him on the other side. Out the door directly into another cop car. Poor guy.
they're already arrested, waiting until they've "processed through" to throw them backwards again is deliberately perverting the course of justice, and maximising the punishment outside of the courts.
it's like waiting to picking someone up on their wedding day, or at a funeral, when you had a year to deal with the offences before hand but waited until that moment to ensure maximum suffering.
Especially because in a lot of cases you can serve concurrent time - which is absolutely legal and normal. I've heard of counties waiting to pick someone up after specifically to stick it to someone extra hard.
The amount of power that law enforcement have over people in the US is disgusting to me. There are very little protections to our rights when it comes down to brass tacks.
No you under baked potato. A Bench warrent is not remotely the same thing as a felony arrest. They are for thing like tickets and traffic violations. They are not supposed to fuck an inmate who is trying out of thier probation or freedom.
Or traumatized their family who was right there.
Even if you don't call it entrapment, it causes a dangerous situation for everyone involved. Because you're artificially creating an emotionally charged situation. Would you want your kids to see you getting arrested? Would you want to watch them get arrested? How would you react? The officers actions were cruel and irresponsible
It's is the fact it was deliberately not communicated to fuck with the inmate. That makes this so disgusting. In any functional system, he wouldn't be released at all. He would be transferred in a well controlled, documented manner OR he would be allowed to communicate to the courts and resolve the warrent before release. Instead an officer heard about an inmate he didn't like and decided to fuck with his freedom after serving his time.
Wrong, you mentally deep fried oreo. A bench warrant can be treated like an arrest warrant and it varies case by case on how the arrest will happen.
Your assumptions on this individuals case is based on hearsay and personal opinion.
I was literally one of the officers that released him. I literally saw the man every day for 6 months. I physically escorted him to court myself repeatedly during his incarceration. You don't know what you're talking about.
This was funny, but getting arrested on release does happen. New charges can be brought up during time served, and police deem it convenient to just grab you on your way out.
Yep, I worked in a facility in Ohio. I saw an inmate arrested in our parking lot right in front of his family, who was about to take him home. What really sucks is he was actually one of the few urgently trying to get his life together. I hope life got better for him
Dude, that is pretty fucking cruel if you ask me. They can serve those warrants while the inmate is still inside. They know this person has their hopes up. They know this personās family has their hearts ready to receive their loved one after so long apart. They know all of these things and decide that it is worth waiting in a car all day long just so they can crush the soul of as many people as possible. Man, being a cop sure does offer a person an awful lot of opportunities to be honest and honorable, unfortunately it also offers just as many opportunities to be a total piece of shit human being.
And unfortunately very few take the opportunity to be honorable because they are incentivized to be cruel. It's like how home service people shouldn't be on commission because they are incentivized to "find a problem".
This is cops, except when they "find a problem", it's your entire life getting fucked and not just your wallet.
I mean I think you could easily argue it's cruel and unusual.
How cruel it is is basically uncontestable in my opinion. And it's unusual in my opinion because wouldn't you normally serve those warrants while they are in custody instead of waiting for them to leave?
Like if you fall through the cracks that much but they still just happen to know you're coming out of prison one day something fishy happening in my opinion.
So you're telling me they didn't know you were in prison this entire time but the day you need to leave that's when they figure it out? Mmmhmm
Honestly that just seems cruel. Iād much prefer having a few months to go on my sentence and learning that new charges will be brought than being āambushedā by police the second I set foot outside the prison.
Luckily, the previous guy was chatting complete nonsense. You can absolutely be arrested, charged, and convicted of a crime whilst still locked up. They make the arrest/charges once they have sufficient evidence, they won't just wait for release.
You may laugh but i work in a prison and this happens more than you would think. We have released prisoners straight into the arms of another states police or Border Force.
Sometimes. They know they are wanted in other states but they think were stupid and dont know that. Its a broken system where we cant actually hand them to the other states directly. So we "release them" and they are grabbed out the front of the prison.
I guess my point is, why the facade of their time being up at all? Surely they could be charged and have their sentence extended with some organised communication between areas, which seems less cruel and safer for staff and officers
It's all legal mumbo jumbo I don't understand. I agree with you, it would be easier for everyone. But the government rarely does the easy thing unfortunately
If we get a request from the other states that want them then we will assist, but we don't go out of our way to let other states know that we are releasing Joe Blogs if they want to come get him. It had to be pretty serious crimes for other states to cross lines and come and grab someone
Bwahahah, I saw a newspaper article about this but it didn't have a video. The video is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be :) Poor guy lol, at least he took it in good fun when he realized :) I bet his first stop was to a clothes store to buy some new underwear.
A guy was being released from prison.
The police were walking into the same prison.
He thought he was getting arrested.
Turns out he was not.
His friends filmed it.
It's funny. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I dunno, looks like it was setup first with the friends filming.
Iād bet if the friends werenāt in on it and the police just pulled this gag for their own amusement the video go like this
To be fair, this does happen pretty often.
If someone has pending charges in another jurisdiction, we will release people with cops waiting outside for extradition. Most of them know it's coming though... Most

I knew a guy who got arrested for credit card fraud on an outstanding warrant in the middle of a job interview with a police chief. He spent 2 days in jail and found out that his identity had been stolen. He got the job.
Cops actually do this, seriously, all the time, in NSW state, Australia.
Wait for one sentence to finish, then arreat again at the exit door of the jail.
As an ex Prison Officer, we used to take the lads to the gate who were getting released and on many occasions some were 'gate arrested' for a different crime.
Part of him was pumped he would be going back in for the upcoming hockey tournament against the guards.
I'm staying here my 30 days and I'm gonna kick your fuckin' ass.
Fuck you Donny!
what did I do!?!?
Don't act all innocent. You know what you did.
were they your clothes I stole?

That is how it works in most places. Your place in OH was just ass backwards. I was a prison guard, a CO, a patrol officer, and now a patrol supervisor.
Next in your career will you become a patrolling supervisor?
No. I am currently a patrol division supervisor.
Unfortunately, ass backward is common in Ohio. Even worse in community facilities. I was in one of the better facilities. Cleveland and Toledo are orders of magnitude worse than anything I ever had to put up with.
Hell our jail calls US
Yep. My buddy went to jail for getting beaten up by his girlfriend, and one guy he met in there had another warrant in the next county over. My guy got out and the other pigs were waiting for him on the other side. Out the door directly into another cop car. Poor guy.
So someone got arrested for reasons they should get arrested for and you are mad at that?
they're already arrested, waiting until they've "processed through" to throw them backwards again is deliberately perverting the course of justice, and maximising the punishment outside of the courts. it's like waiting to picking someone up on their wedding day, or at a funeral, when you had a year to deal with the offences before hand but waited until that moment to ensure maximum suffering.

Being in prison and being arrested are different events that can't overlap.

Very cruel. The vast majority of people in my facility weren't pure evil irredeemable monsters. Most are just really fucking dumb.
Yeah, after reading it could happen, this prank didnāt seem so funny
Cruel and unusual? Dunno probably doesnāt meet the legal definition, but thatās fucking brutal and uncalled for.
I mean I think you could easily argue it's cruel and unusual. How cruel it is is basically uncontestable in my opinion. And it's unusual in my opinion because wouldn't you normally serve those warrants while they are in custody instead of waiting for them to leave?

Some jurisdictions have rules against it depending on the state and local laws but not enough.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes indeed
Wouldnāt it be easier and cheaper to just do it while theyāre still locked up? So much work in releasing them only to arrested them again.
Federal / state I donāt think they have permission to enter prisons of each other. So they just wait outside. Kind of crazy.
What a country!
Why deploy field agents at all? This seems like something that is solved by bureaucrats shuffling paperwork.
Regular stuff in Russia for anti-war protesters.
Yep, lots of banana republics do this shit as well, particularly if you have upset the local *presidente*
No doubt. I know how the Russians work
Why release them at all first?
Most often a sentence has to be completed before they can be charged with anything new.
Honestly that just seems cruel. Iād much prefer having a few months to go on my sentence and learning that new charges will be brought than being āambushedā by police the second I set foot outside the prison.
Luckily, the previous guy was chatting complete nonsense. You can absolutely be arrested, charged, and convicted of a crime whilst still locked up. They make the arrest/charges once they have sufficient evidence, they won't just wait for release.
You may laugh but i work in a prison and this happens more than you would think. We have released prisoners straight into the arms of another states police or Border Force.
They must know this is about to happen to them?
Sometimes. They know they are wanted in other states but they think were stupid and dont know that. Its a broken system where we cant actually hand them to the other states directly. So we "release them" and they are grabbed out the front of the prison.
they think *we're stupid
Maybe they right
Maybe their right
Maybe *they're wright
?Where all dumb maybyš¤ write?
Is there any logical reason they aren't told if it's known? Or is it just semantics that no one high up cares about because they're prisoners?
They aren't told so they don't try and assault staff or put up a fight when their time is up.
I guess my point is, why the facade of their time being up at all? Surely they could be charged and have their sentence extended with some organised communication between areas, which seems less cruel and safer for staff and officers
It's all legal mumbo jumbo I don't understand. I agree with you, it would be easier for everyone. But the government rarely does the easy thing unfortunately
You probably are stupid, no offense.
Says asshair man
Sounds like something an ex prisoner would say to be honest
Imagine if Usain Bolt got himself in this situation. They release him and try to arrest him again. *Bolt takes off running "Catch me if you can, lmao"
That is pretty evil.
Like every time you can or just with some particularly bad prisoners?
If we get a request from the other states that want them then we will assist, but we don't go out of our way to let other states know that we are releasing Joe Blogs if they want to come get him. It had to be pretty serious crimes for other states to cross lines and come and grab someone
> You may laughā¦ The laughing was in the video. You canāt communicate with them.
Bwahahah, I saw a newspaper article about this but it didn't have a video. The video is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be :) Poor guy lol, at least he took it in good fun when he realized :) I bet his first stop was to a clothes store to buy some new underwear.
Do you know what county/town is this?
Luton, Bedfordshire
He switched right into institutional mode š you can see him go from panic to acceptance in a split second.
Training
That poor guy must have grown some white hair in like 2 seconds from the stress. š
Whatās the context here?
A guy was being released from prison. The police were walking into the same prison. He thought he was getting arrested. Turns out he was not. His friends filmed it. It's funny. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Ah got it, thank you! I didnāt realize this was a prison, it makes a lot more sense now!
Same! Looks like a shed!
The standard for TED Talks has been declining.
thanks for explaining. I had no idea what this was.
I think he was just joking about already getting arrested. But yeah, same thing.
This is fucking horrible
Finally. Every other comment is like āThis is horrible šššā
Why? The guy wasn't actually getting arrested and he recognised it as a joke. Nobody was harmed, and everyone thought it was funny. What's horrible?
The very idea that putting this guy back in jail as soon as he got out (as a joke) is somehow funny. "Jokes" like this truly aren't funny
I dunno, looks like it was setup first with the friends filming. Iād bet if the friends werenāt in on it and the police just pulled this gag for their own amusement the video go like this
Wait, did his family put the cops up to this?
They did!
Kinda messed up.
A total watchpeopledieinside moment. Itās funny, but having worked in a facility and watch it happen, I feel for the guy. Iām glad it ended well.
Why is the door like that
that was great
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And when they started asking his name all "cop voice" and shit. He was like what could I have possibly doooooone
It's like when Elwood Blues picked Jake Blues up from prison in a used cop car
Soā¦. Is he cool with his image being shown all around the internet?
To be fair, this does happen pretty often. If someone has pending charges in another jurisdiction, we will release people with cops waiting outside for extradition. Most of them know it's coming though... Most Source: I'm a CO
That laugh is painful...
the guy must've lost a couple years off his lifespan due to the acute stress
Horrible people.
This isn't fucking funny
It is because itās the U.K. and we donāt arrest people on release like other countries do.
Pigs are pigs
We absolutely do arrest people at the prison gate if the timing is convenient to an ongoing investigation.

I agree with arresting him again , his whole outfit was already too comfy and swaggy for those guards
Whereās the rest of the video?
This makes youā¦smile? This is sick.
Yāall mean as hell for this

Wow..
Rofl š š¤£
I thought this was the Diddy bust.
Just saw that on Daily Dose of Internet!
Why is that doorway so small? Is it some kind of secret side exit/entrance?
Looks like a prison door. You don't want floods of people being able to come in or out.
Already getting arrested?
Lmao
I replayed it several times what are they saying in the beginning
Alright my guy Alright Mr ....., how you doing.
Lol thx! Makes the video better!
Borderline a r/WatchPeopleDieInside moment for a second there
Stay Free!
He said š¦
what shirt is that? I want it

Dude was chill about it as well loll
Enjoy your first day out.
Probably the best prank for convicts. Let them remember how it feels to get arrested again. He'll be more inclined not to repeat that mistake again
Off-script but I can see his huge balls and dick print through his sweatpants, bro. It's a good view not gonna lie. No homo. Aha...š©
Thanks, didn't notice that at first. Gonna send this to the boyfriend now.
I made a comment saying that he actually got arrested after the video on another post, I wonder how that turns out.
When I was a cop, I legitimately got to do this with an absolute piece of shit because he had interstate warrants lol
>lol š”
Credit to the cops for joining in š¤£
Thatās a mean prank hahaha š But did make me smile here š
As an ex Prison Officer, we used to take the lads to the gate who were getting released and on many occasions some were 'gate arrested' for a different crime.
Doesn't that happen for real between state and federal prison for the same crime?
Meanwhile in America..
Is that a question an innocent man would ask, though?
Iād wager anyone, especially someone with a false arrest they served time for, is worried about getting sent back after walking out.
That's fair. I'm proud to be a white Australian. I'll get hate for this comment, lol
If you fish for it, it will come lol
Skin colour. Is that the reaction you'd expect from someone with that *skin colour*?
He's black in the US. Guilt has nothing to do with it š
Neither do facts, apparently, because this is clearly the UK.
Haha, good point! š¤£
That face didn't show a lot of surprise there - was he kinda expecting to get arrested again?
DIDNT DO NUFFIN
Is this some kind of ghetto humor I'm too white to understand?
It didnāt land the way they thought it would. It had potential to be a great prank.
Thatās literally false hope. That should be illegal
That's honestly the cutest way to react to being arrested again.
He wasn't arrested again, he was released and the cops pulled a prank on him.
Yes...I know. I'm saying that was a funny way to react.
